Orphism Manifesto

The Orphism Manifesto was a statement by early 20th-century artists who aimed to emphasize harmony, rhythm, and vivid color in their work. They sought to break away from traditional representation, focusing instead on pure color and abstract forms to evoke emotion and spiritual experience. The movement was inspired by music and poetry, aspiring to create a visual language that expressed movement and harmony. In essence, the manifesto championed innovative use of color and form to convey deeper emotional and sensory experiences beyond realistic depiction.
